www.teachersofindia.org, a free portal and platform for teachers cross the country to hone their professional capabilities and get access to quality teaching aids and digital resources, was launched in an improved version on Wednesday, 5 September 2012, marked as teacher’s day. The portal is popular as “Teachers of India” portal.

The portal is owned and run by Azim Premji Foundation set up as a not-for-profit organization to contribute to a just, equitable, humane and sustainable society in India. Azim Premji is the head of IT major Wipro.

The portal, originally developed by the foundation in collaboration with the National Knowledge Commission, has expanded to become a space for teachers to interact, discuss, reflect, create and share academic resources and thus foster an inclusive community of teachers across the country, said an official press release. “The genesis of the portal lies in the need to support the 5.5 million practicing government school teachers of India,” the statement said.

The portal’s content is available in Hindi, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and English.
